Convert Milliseconds to Clock time from excel file

Hello! I am hoping to understand how to convert milliseconds to the format hh:mm:ss.SS

Ie I have the value 1063987 milliseconds and want to convert it to hh:mm:ss.SS time format

Furthermore, I have all the values in an excel file and would like the values pulled from there. Otherwise, if possible an inital line where we could specify teh value of variable (ie x = 1063987, and then have x be throughout the remaining code)

thank you for any insight into this!

Let X be the time in miliseconds.

Xs = X/1000;  % the total time in seconds
Hour = floor(Xs/3600) ; % The number of hours in x
Min = floor((Xs - Hour*3600) / 60);  % the number of minutes
Sec = Xs - Hour*3600 - Min*60;   % the number of seconds

[Jim Riggs]

Make it a function:

function [Hour, Min, Sec] = mstoHMS(X)
   Xs = X/1000;
   Hour = floor(Xs/3600);
   Min = floor((Xs - Hour*3600)/60);
   Sec = Xs - Hour*3600 - Min*60;
end

You could also add Days to the function:

function [Day, Hour, Min, Sec] = mstoDHMS(X)
    Xs = X/1000;
    Day  = floor(Xs/86400);
    Hour = floor((Xs - Day*16400)/3600);
    Min  = floor((Xs - Day*86400 - Hour*3600)/60);
    Sec  = Xs - Day*86400 - Hour*3600 - Min*60;
end
